The Best Christmas Present Was Being Blessed With Knoledge Of Them Being Open Every Monday For Slices And Mini Pie Etc, Beautifully Spirited People You Truly Taste The Love In The Food. I Have Never Experienced As Much Consistency With Quality Desserts As I Have With GD, I Would Highly Recommend The Red Velvet, Carmel,Strawberry,And Carrot Cake.And Dont Get Me Started On The Sweet Potato Pie Yall This Is No Five Dollar Patty Pie, If I Had To Rate It On A Pay Scale I Would Pay $50 For A Slice(Ridiculous Right? Wrong, If U Have Never Tried It). If You Haven't Tried This Hidden Gem In Memphis You

They are great people, but I drove there expecting to get to buy some desserts. Apparently you have to call in and place orders. It makes sense for how highly they are recommended. Still, they should put that up somewhere for people who don't know.
